We purposely inverted the scale making the higher numbers faster efforts and we adjusted for weight at time of entry to make Thoro-Graph Form Ratings easier to understand.

Thoro-Graph Form Ratings are intended for a different segment of the market. Make no mistake, however, Thoro-Graph Form Ratings are based on the same Thoro-Graph data you see on sheets, Thoro-Quick, or whatever data product you purchase.

It sounds as if they are targeting somrthing other than the hardnosed capper. If so will they adjust the price for this and make it more redily available with this filal figure and without all the info that results in these figures. Am I missing something? This appears to be something that they are going to offer to compete with the drf.
